SIMPLE WOMAN'S DAY BOOK

FOR TODAY, THE 22nd of DECEMBER!

OUTSIDE OF MY WINDOW: tiny, little snowflakes that look like glitter!

FROM THE LEARNING ROOM: nothing! we wrapped things up Friday and will resume on January 5th. Oh, unless you mean the stacks of books and papers that need to be put away!

I AM THANKFUL FOR: leftovers, TSC (The Tractor Supply Store), floating candles, coupons, and I am really thankful that I froze so much from our garden in August and stocked up heavy on staples last fall (flour, sugars, oatmeal, butter, pasta, and rice, kleenex, shampoo and conditioner!)

FROM THE KITCHEN: a plate of Christmas cookies-leftover from our Christmas dinner with my mom and her husband....I had it here yesterday! I also see, a bowl of tangerines, a glass of unfinished iced tea-room temperature.

I AM WEARING: black hoodie, black tee-shirt, black leggings, white tennis shoes. I just hopped off the treadmill- 2 miles.

I AM READING: still plugging away with The Virgin Blue... and see the book below!

I AM HOPING: to do my new yoga dvd's, that we get a big, old snowstorm again, and I get motivated to sort through and organize my scrapbooking corner.

I AM CREATING: no bake cookies for my cousin and I hope to make a Christmas journal for next year...sort of to take and make notes in.

I AM HEARING: Tommie talking to Brad about the weather station he received from my mom yesterday.

AROUND THE HOUSE: a new rice milk Yankee candle, a new grey sweatsuit, legos, cell phone and it's just about time to plug in the Christmas lights!!

ONE OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: making gift tags, doing laundry, walking through TSC (Tractor Supply Store)

A FEW PLANS FOR THE REST OF THE WEEK: baking/frosting sugar cookies, wrapping gifts, getting things organized for Christmas Eve dinner with my in-laws!

HERE IS A PICTURE THOUGHT I'M SHARING: my mom gave me this wonderful book for Christmas, by Joseph Marshall titled, "Keep Going, The Art of Perseverance" I only read a quick paragraph and already fell in love with it... click right here to find out more!

Merry Christmas, Mich! Your blog is always so fascinating (even the side bar keeps me reading! - those ice wreaths look interesting). The cookie dough gift is an awesome idea! Your wrapping makes it look so enticing!
